TikTok star dies at 25, husband announces ‘sudden and unexpected’ death

TikTok star Taylor Rousseau Grigg has died at the age of 25.

Grigg’s husband Cameron Grigg announced the news of her death in an emotional Instagram post on Saturday.

“No one ever expects to have to deal with this kind of pain and heartache, especially at our age,” Grigg wrote. “Over the past year, Taylor has faced more pain and suffering than most people experience in a lifetime. And despite that, she has still been so light and has always brought joy to everyone around her.”

Grigg said his wife’s death was “sudden and unexpected” and that her body was “controlled by machines to keep her organs viable for donation.”

He said his wife had been struggling with undisclosed medical problems for some time, but gave no further details about her death.

“Because this is so sudden and unexpected, we are not in good financial shape,” Griggs wrote in the post. “Taylor has been in and out of the hospital since we got married, which has affected our financial situation, which is why we don’t have any insurance.”

Grigg added that a family friend set up GoFundMe.

The 25-year-old TikTok star amassed more than a million followers on the platform by sharing lifestyle and shopping videos.

She celebrated a birthday last month, just over a year after the couple got married in August 2023.
